The Pacific Crest Trail 2025

From July 1 2025 - Oct 13 2025, I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail! It is a trail that stretches across USA from the Mexican Border to Canada. I started at Kennedy Meadows South and went Northbound (NOBO) towards Canada. While my planned distance was 1959 mi(3153 km), due to some skipped sections (mostly fire and snow) I ended up doing 1784mi(2871km).

Instagram and On-trail updates

On trail, I used Instagram to send daily updates from the account @specificcresttrail. If you don’t have Instagram, you should still be able to view my posts by clicking on the squares on this page.

Map of my progress

These are snippets of the map from my One Note Every Day video on instagram. Each dot represents the location where I slept that night. Any big jumps are a result of hitchhiking to town or skipping part of the trail.

Oregon & Washington

Schedule

This is super rough, but week-by-week, assuming I can walk 25km/day, it’s something like this. The schedule will probably break due to Fires, trail closures, injuries, and so many more things so this will remain rough. Hard deadline is Nov because Washington will start getting too much snow around that time. The following schedule will NOT be updated regularly, Instagram will have all of my latest updates.
